The biggest factors are:
- Numbers

- Site access
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or RG7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

Compared with a barbecue run by staff, everyone gets to join in. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
